Answer:

$7.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount he was making before the raise.

He had an increase of 3.1% of x added to x which resulted in a new salary of $8.00 per hour.

Mathematically:

(\frac{3.1}{100} * x) + x = 8\\\\0.031x + x = 8\\\\1.031x = 8\\\\=> x = 8 / 1.031

x = $7.76

He was making $7.76 before the raise.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

"Ratio " seems to be the appropriate choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A scale that is being used to mark quantities with a regular process or order, a quantifiable significance discrepancy, as well as a "true zero" value.  
  • Any factors that should be considered on something like a ratio scale which can be calculated usually involve:
